Apple nudged out oil giant Exxon Mobil on Wednesday to become the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world.

The technology company’s stock rose 6.3% to end at $446.66 a share, one day after Apple reported the best quarterly results in history for a tech company. That spike pushed the company’s market value to $419 billion. At that level, Apple has surpassed the perennial champ, Exxon, which has a market value of $418 billion. Exxon’s stock edged up 0.5% to $87.22 a share on Wednesday.

It remains to be seen how long Apple can maintain the title. Apple briefly surpassed Exxon for the first time last August, but the oil giant regained the top spot by the end of that day. Apple’s stellar quarter included a 73% jump in sales to $46.3 billion, a tech industry record reports. The company said its fiscal first-quarter profit more than doubled from a year earlier, rising to $13 billion, or $13.87 per share.

Apple’s growth is a stunning achievement for a 35-year old company that had a market cap of just $10 billion a decade ago. The company’s turnaround began with the launch of the iPod, and growth really skyrocketed after the iPhone’s release in 2007.
